So @DiscussingFilm could have simply deleted this tweet, and reposted it with proper credit to Frank Quitely. But the engagement of people dunking on them was more important to them than doing the right thing. Which tells you all you need to know.

The number of people -- especially segments of Film Twitter -- who seem to be rooting for Coppola's Megalopolis to fail, just because they think it would be funny, is kind of a microcosm of where we are culturally right now.

"When you’re this old guy dying, you don’t wanna say: ‘I wish I had done that & that.’ I did all the things other people would just regret that they didn’t try. Because, in the end, you die. You don’t get any award for just being conservative" — Francis Ford Coppola

One photo shows a bunch of immature dorks who devote their lives to an unbelievable fantasy story, and want to dress up so they can pretend to be soldiers. And the other photo shows Stormtroopers. #Richmond

In Turkey, a man named Burak Soylu has been going around dressed like Spiderman. He drives around in a Beetle, buys milk and groceries for the elderly, and delivers it to their doorsteps. When he was asked why, he said "My superpower is doing good for the neighborhood."
